Life is never easy, but it can be easier with these five things.
Recently, I watched Maid on Netflix, and I really enjoyed it. Although, it made me feel anxious all the time for Alex and her daughter, Maddy. I really didn’t enjoy seeing them struggling, and I couldn’t wait to get to the happy end.
We know that there is a happy end because it’s based on a memoir written by Stephanie Land. The book tells of her experiences with domestic abuse, becoming a maid, and then a professional writer.
